Parachute:
I love your characterization of the “ethics” officers:
“the mousey, whiny, skimpy, diminutive, malnourished, miseducated liars”

JUST like Dwarfenführer®!

Kamala, I’m NOT Mike, but my opinion is to support the scn-watchers’ sites since they’re organizing the continued pressure against Dwarfenführer’s® continued abuses and crimes. Among them is the Aftermath Foundation I WISH had existed 40 years ago when Flag kicked me to the curb.

I’ve watched the Aftermath on Netflix and listen to the pod cast and have learned so much. I was introduced to Scientology through Narconon in California and brought many of my clients through the purification rundown at the celebrity Center ( I lived with Karen De La Carrier ). I was so sad to see my friend Karen lose her son and the struggle she went through with the church. But now, after all of these stories of families separated and the pain that comes with that, I’m beside myself. I’m asking myself, what can I do to help!

Tempted to do what??? I’m tempted go back to sleep.

To Prof Aharon: Exactly as you say. I hope for anyone who had experience in C of S, they did have instances where things worked, something was improved, something was salvaged. I certainly had Ethics cycles that were positive and contained affinity. I studied some things, did an O/W write up that revealed things I had not previously seen. After, the honest application of those steps helped me to interact with a person or area better, exactly as I sought to improve.

What weeds (and seeds of those weeds) exist to creep in and destroy the whole garden.

I think an interesting website or blog could be one that collects “My Last Straw Story.” Mine may be similar to yours. An unexpected (and, of course, totally mysterious) Ethics “summons.” That outpoint prompted me to no longer cast aside the deep sense of un-truth and frustration, or tell myself “Well, this is just one bad occurrence.” Or “This is just one person in an authority role who is not very ARC-ful.” I could not use that “logic” on myself any more. I finally had to announce to myself: “This is by design. It is not an accident. This is the culture.”

What has been normalized is—as I think this blog discusses very well—killing the group from the inside. My similar with you on the ethics lines is trying to use K.S.W. on tech lines. Three times in three decades I got it to work. All the rest: No. No staff member or tech person wanted to hear me out on a “Closing the door” or “Hammering out of existence” some technical outpoint I encountered and reported on. I was written to or told things like, “If we did correct that person here, we certainly aren’t going to tell you.” Or “Look, you are just going to have to assume it’s been corrected.”

Say, whaaa? Why am I studying this KSW issue hundreds of times and demo-ing all the points in clay, etc., etc. #confounding

Thank you, Aharon, for your entry here, and for your honest work. I am sure you helped people with your diligence and fact finding. These are good seeds to sow, for certain!

Here is a link to a book that I expect will soon have an addition. I’m guessing that the Poop of Scamatology will soon be added to the following book. It’s called,

“Monsters – History’s most evil people”

Hello Nadia,

IMO, the best thing about that book is that after you waste a bunch of time reading parts of it and reading the reviews, you can always use the pages for toilet paper.
